I so appreciate this content. The swirl of HRT is being hyped by corporations preying on anxious, aging women seen as another niche market. HRT is not a one size all fits solution, and as this article conveys, not the only solution. Before we start treating symptoms we need to be reminded to evaluate and change lifestyle factors like diet, sleep, stress management, relationships, and exercise. Thank you for this powerful, thoughtful reminder. We need more messaging like this!

Spot on JJ, hormones are important and maintaining proper levels in each person is very significant. Many don't realize that Vitamin D is a hormone - part of Parathyroid, affects lots of things. Like your recommendation and the seriousness you treat it with. Please see your PCP or an endocrinologist if you have issues or questions, don't necessarily follow the advice of folks on their various social media platforms who may be trying to sell you something.

Thank you for this. I appreciate you taking the time to educate us on these facts. I see so many different things and people saying take this and do that but there is not a one size fits all. Each person is different and your explanation of all these things is very much appreciated!
